Saint of the Day: - St Vincentia Lopez y Vicuna. Vincentia was the daughter of an important Spanish lawyer, but she refused to make the good marriage that had been arranged by her parents. Instead she took a vow of chastity and set up a women's group to assist working girls that became the Daughters of Mary Immaculate for domestic service.
